Binary phase

Some binary phase compounds are molecular, e.g. carbon tetrachloride (CCl4).

More typically binary phase refers to extended solids.

Famous examples zinc sulfide, which contains zinc and sulfur, and tungsten carbide, which contains tungsten and carbon.

These phases exhibit a higher degree of complexity due to the interaction of these elements at different conditions.
